Bangs: To Get Banged or Not To Get Banged

Is that your question? First things first...Throw all trends out the window for the moment. Bangs can be trendy and cute but also, can be really B.A.D. if not right for you.

Here are the reasons you should not get banged:

• If you have any strong cowlicks along your hairline near your forehead. Bangs are going to emphasize them, not hide them.
• If you have won't take the 5 minutes to style them properly. Bangs need daily T.L.C.!

Still wanting to get banged? Determine your face shape and I'll help guide you in the right direction...

Oval Face
Lucky girl! You can just pull off any bang style that suits your style of hair best! Woo hoo!

Oblong Face
Avoid side swept bangs because they will only make your face look longer. Other than that, go to town!

Round Face
A sleek side swept or straight across squared bangs would compliment you best. Avoid adding volume.

Square Face
You don't want to shorten your face with thick straight across bangs, longer wispy bangs showing most of your face will elongate your features.

Heart Shaped Face
Angled bangs, short and choppy or simple straight across bangs will all hide the fullness in your forehead and make balance your features.

Not including side swept bangs, you will need to trim them every few weeks. A lot of stylists will give their clients complimentary bang trims and only takes 15 minutes maximum. So what are you waiting for? Make your appointment already and get banged!
